Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

TerraTrike is recalling about 450 Rambler E.V.O. adult recumbent tricycles because a faulty torque sensor can cause the electric motor to activate unexpectedly. This defect can make the trike power forward even when the rider is not pedaling, which has been reported five times. These yellow trikes feature an electric assist rear wheel and were sold nationwide at authorized dealers and online between August 2017 and October 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these trikes and return them for a free repair involving a new sensor and software update.

Risk

The torque sensor in the wheel can activate without rider input, causing the tricycle to surge forward unexpectedly. This sudden movement poses a risk of crashes and serious injuries to the rider or others.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled TerraTrike Rambler E.V.O. recumbent tricycle.
  2. Identify your trike by looking for the model name 'Rambler E.V.O.' on the front outrigger tube and 'Terra Trike' on the backrest.
  3. Check your serial number on the barcoded sticker located under the main tube near the rear wheel or stamped into the head tube of the outrigger, then verify it against the list at www.terratrike.com.
  4. Return the affected tricycle to its original place of purchase or any authorized TerraTrike dealer to receive a free speed sensor installation and a software upgrade.
  5. For more information, contact TerraTrike at 800-945-9110 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.terratrike.com and click on 'Important Recall'.
